Abstract Five new nitrogen-oxygen mixed donor macrocycles have been prepared by condensation of 2, 6-bis [(2-formylphenyl) oxymethyl] pyridine with different diamino compounds in hot methanol, followed by a one-pot reduction of the intermediate bis-Schiff base. All the macrocycles were identified by elemental analysis, and ir, uv, and nmr spectroscopy.
